You can have HTTP authentication like that on any site, but you can't use it in place of MyBB's regular login system. It would be a second layer of password-protection. :p

What web server are you using? Apache?

Do you have cPanel or anything that might provide a GUI to set up password-protection?

Well, you can't use HTTP authentication unless you can modify the server configuration or the source code of your copy of MyBB.

It's not possible with CreateMyBB, for example. I don't know about other services.

Here's the Apache documentation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/auth.html

And here's a tutorial I found via Google: http://www.elated.com/articles/password-protectin...ges-with-htaccess/
